Travel Photography | Scotland and London Landscape Photography

Published on by allieskylarphotography@gmail.comLeave a comment

Two weeks ago, I had just landed in the UK, tired and excited with a list of things I wanted to do.  My siblings and I had tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (which was out of this world- though sadly no photos- have to #keepthesecrets) and we decided to plan a vacation around the play.  We spent some time in London and Edinburgh and also a lot of time on the train 🙂  I was also fortunate enough to shoot an engagement session in London, but that will be in a different blog post.

This was the first time I had taken my camera gear over seas, let alone on an airplane.  Now, if I am being honest, I don’t really like landscape photography.  I like shooting people, and sometimes landscape just doesn’t seem like a “subject”.  But I’m on this new freelensing kick, and that really helped me to better appreciate landscape photography.

Staten Island Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Baby Beckham

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I just love becoming friends with my wedding clients.  We work together through some of the most beautiful and stressful times of their lives.  A lot of trust is formed, and by the end of it all, we feel as though we’ve climbed mountains together.

One year ago, I was lucky enough to photograph Kaleigh and Brian’s wedding, which you can check out here.  We’ve kept in contact through social media, and I was so excited for them when they shared they were expecting a baby boy.  And then I was absolutely floored when they asked me to photograph their newest addition.  I focus on lifestyle newborn, documenting a family exactly as they are, and this was the laid back documentation Kaleigh and Brian were looking for.

Baby Beckham had an exciting birth to say the least.  He was an early and very big guy!  But oh he was such a joy to photograph!  He smiled and watched as I took his photos, and was calm and happy even with big brother and Tini (the dog) getting in his personal space.  Every detail of his nursery was designed with Beckham in mind, lovingly put together by his parents.  And oh!  The sunlight!  I left a very dreary, rainy Philly (what is up with this sad spring weather?) and when I crossed into Staten Island, it was nothing but sunshine!

Lifestyle Newborn is my favorite.  Years will go by quickly and these first days of adjusting as a new family will be a faint memory.  Take a peek at some of my favorite photos from this darling family’s session! Continue reading “Staten Island Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Baby Beckham” →

Tomorrow is the first day of February, and as is custom, my cabin fever has set in.  Several times this week I have found myself searching for flights to anywhere- Calgary, San Francisco, Florida.  I hate sitting in one place for too long and winter always seems to force me indoors.  Add to that short days and chilly nights, and my cabin fever is at an all time high.
